[Python-Dev] signal.alarm(3) in trunk test_socketserver.py

r61099 added the following to trunk/Lib/test/test_socketserver.py:

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      test_main()
+     signal.alarm(3)  # Shutdown shouldn't take more than 3 seconds.

....which breaks platforms that don't have signal.alarm, like, say, !unix ;-)


        Trent.
